The .-ichool is organized to aiiiicipaie a boy ' ji mtntivsttd needs and to direct him to those things which will give him a well rounded rational development enabling him to realize his beat possibilities. The Wentworth phin i-ecojjnizes interest and direction as the superior tools with which to fashion a man, and you w ill find iiulljiij r o!
